Woodward Canyon 2017 Estate Merlot (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
This young release wine offers aromas of char, roasted coffee bean, dried herbs and cherry. The palate is full-bodied around the edges, lighter in the middle, with firm tannins and coffee notes on the warm finish. The oak is very expressive at present, taking over the show. Additional time in the bottle is needed. Best after 2024. Sean P. Sullivan
